Homemade Chipotle Grilled Chicken

Description

Just like your favorite chicken burrito bowls from Chipotle, but marinated and cooked at home!

Scale

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 can chipotles in adobo sauce

1/2 tablespoonsalt

1 tablespoonoregano

1 tablespooncumin

1 tablespoonminced garlic

Instructions

Tenderize your chicken breasts with a meat tenderizer or pounder.

In a bowl, place the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and use a fork to crush the chipotle peppers a little bit. Add salt, oregano, cumin, and minced garlic into peppers and sauce. Mix well.

Place all items in a gallon size Ziploc bag. Double bag to avoid leakage if you want. Let chicken marinate for 12-48 hours.

Grilling is the best method of cooking this chicken. Let some sauce drip off before cooking on a hot grill for 30-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Best in burritos, taco salads, quesadillas, and more!
